Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 538,175, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 538,175 | |
| -1 | -538,175 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 538,175.
Example:
1 x 538,175 = 538,175
and
-1 x -538,175 = 538,175
Notice both answers equal 538,175
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 538,175 and divide it by 2:
538,175 ÷ 2 = 269,087.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 269,087.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 538,175 | |
| -1 | -538,175 |
Now, we try dividing 538,175 by 3:
538,175 ÷ 3 = 179,391.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 179,391.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 538,175 | |
| -1 | -538,175 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
538,175 ÷ 4 = 134,543.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 134,543.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 538,175 | |
| -1 | 538,175 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 25 | 55 | 95 | 103 | 209 | 275 | 475 | 515 | 1,045 | 1,133 | 1,957 | 2,575 | 5,225 | 5,665 | 9,785 | 21,527 | 28,325 | 48,925 | 107,635 | 538,175 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -25 | -55 | -95 | -103 | -209 | -275 | -475 | -515 | -1,045 | -1,133 | -1,957 | -2,575 | -5,225 | -5,665 | -9,785 | -21,527 | -28,325 | -48,925 | -107,635 | -538,175 |
